It appears that kudzu is hanging on a system scan and you can disable this on bootup. Type in the following commands. The <> entry means to type in the information requested without the <> characters. I make the assumption that you are booting into either Gnome or KDE. If you are booting up into a different init (1,2 or 3) then change the /etc/rc.d/rc5.d to the appropriate init value (rc1.d, rc2.d or rc3.d). These commands should be entered from a terminal screen (Ctrl+Alt+F1)From: micheal <sundance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Boot failure after update Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 08:12:31 -0600

Maybe booting without the options "rhgb quiet" would give you a helpful error message.
JIC you don't know how to do this, highlight the new kernel in the menu. press a for append, and backspace out the rhgb quiet part. then press b to boot.Tried that. Seems to hangs while looking for new hardware.

If you cannot boot up your system, this should be done from the rescue or install CD #1 by booting into rescue mode. Mount your filesystem to /mnt/sysimage and the cd command will change to cd /mnt/sysimage/etc/rc.d/rc5.d
Hope this helps resolve your problem. -- James McKenzie With assistance, Now running 2.6.11rc3, Software Suspend 2 and ibm-acpi .1 Need a home for my .rpm
